DAY OF RENEWAL
On Wednesday, April 7, 76, high school students met at the Catholic Church Center in Poplar for a day of spiritual search and reflection. All the students except three (from Brockton High) were from Poplar High School . The group was interdenominational, and several students helped plan the program for the day. The theme was INNER SEARCH.
At 6:30 a.m. the students met for a meditation walk. The early morning time was set by the students to offer themselves a challenge and test of sincerity. The day consisted of films, discussions, skits interpreting values, quiet time for reflection and prayer, shared meals, interaction projects, and a final inter-faith prayer service. All the adults who assisted the students remarked on the quality of the students participation, the fine cooperation, and the many insights the students shared. Especially, the entire group expresses gratitude for support from their parents, ministers, and the Principle of Poplar High School and Superintendent of Brockton High School who opened the day for such inner searching.
CHAPTER FOR EFFECTIVE CITY 60VT
The Poplar Study Commission on Local Government is now in the process of drafting a charter for an alternative form of government for the city. Pat Beck, Ida Norgaard and Monty Cranston, the Commission members, have been reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of the present stoucture of city government, and think they have a viable alternative form of government which should help to solve the problems Poplar is having.
The final (but still tentative) draft should be completed by May 1st; at which time meetings will be held to discuss and debate items within the commission's charter. By June 1st, after their recommendations have been scrutinized and perhaps amended by people outside the commission, the charter will stand, subject to acception or rejection by the citizens of Poplar in the November 2nd election.
Thus, the people of Poplar will have plenty of time to become familiar with the review commission's alternative, discuss the points of controversy, and make up their minds about whether to vote for it or against it. Should their proposals be defeated, the present form of city government would be retained. See page 10.for on interview with the commission members in which they talk about the changes they would like to see made in city government.
